Hear What Families Are Saying

I was weary by the time I reached this book [Les Miserables] for my 11 graders. I have taught it many years before, but it comes second semester and we have already tackled some ‘big’ works. The study guide helped me focus and just concentrate on a couple of literary elements. It gave me direction and helped me narrow down my emphasis. – K.M.G.

What I loved about this resource [World Literature] is that it offers flexibility and guidelines to work with a number of different grades which allows both an honors student and a grade 9 student to use the same materials. Combining grammar, reading, vocabulary, writing and even public speaking – it covers every aspect you could possibly need for your child. The quality of this course is of an excellent standard. Too often there is a “dumbing down” approach taken but I was impressed at the standard of this resource. – Melanie

I have sought to use your suggested style of not over-analyzing the books, but letting each be more personally meaningful. With just a touch of teaching using the study guide, most students are really improving with the writing and the discussion is getting better. Thank you! – Noel (a homeschool co-op teacher)

This Study guide [Uncle Vanya] by Sabrina Justison is a real tiny Piece of Gold…the author has really grasped the essence of the play, not only this play but Chekhov’s personality and contribution to the world of theatre.”  – Asko K.
